- As of now, Heidelberg University's intent is to fully open our campus in August and resume classes and activities for the Fall 2021 semester. As with the recently concluded 2020-21 academic year, we will again offer two options for course delivery for the fall. Please see the email dated May 26, 2021 for more information.
- Classes in the Fall 200 and Spring 2021 were delivered via a variety of modalities, including face-to-face, online, and combinations thereof. A variety of delivery modalities were employed this fall to enhance the safety and wellbeing of students and faculty alike. These included seated with physical distancing and facial coverings, hybrid seated-online with a rotating portion of the students attending the seated sessions, fully synchronous online, and fully asynchronous online. Academic departments and instructors, with guidance by the Owen Center for Teaching and Learning, Academic Affairs, and Human Resources, determined the best modality for each course.
- Students, faculty, and staff will complete a brief health check form daily which includes a symptom screen, exposure screen, and a temperature report. Hand sanitizing stations have been distributed across campus. Disinfectant spray and paper towels will be provided for surface cleaning before and/or after class. The Krammes staff will deep clean academic rooms daily.
- The HYPE Career Ready & Placement Office is located in the Office of Student Engagement located on the third floor of Campus Center.

- As of now, once Hoernemann Refectory reaches capacity, students and guests will be permitted to enter on a first come, first serve basis.

- All Parkhurst Team Members will complete a COVID-19 Safety and Sanitation course before returning to work. In addition to our regular cleaning schedule each table will be completely cleaned, disinfected and sanitized after each sitting as well as disinfecting high traffic touch points every 15 minutes.

Additional napkins, silverware and condiments are available at the condiment station or you may ask your dining room attendant for your seating section. Self-serve stations will now all be served, including the salad bar and condiment station. For now beverages will remain self-serve with an attendant wiping high touch points every 15 minutes.
